Aug 15, 2011 16:55 | #1  Permanent banok so this just started after i cleaned my gear. The gears in the lens seam to be trying to continue focusing even after the lens has reached its max focal length. its like a grinding noise. ill try to upload a video for an example..

If you enjoy that shallow depth of field from the f/1.8, by all means replace it with another prime. The f/2.8 on the zoom won't give you that shallow DOF.

Stone which do u use more that 30mm or the 50mm... i have a 18-125 and i find myself shooting alot at around 25 or so, so i was thinking i might like a prime in the 20 to 30 range Depends on what you are shooting I guess? The 30mm on a crop is a standard prime, the 50mm is a good lens for portraits on a crop body. Keep in mind, the sigma 30mm is designed for crop camera only, it will not work on a full frame body. If you think you will upgrade to FF in the short future, consider this factor~!

I am just letting him know zoom lens won't get the same shallow DOF from a fast prime. My point was that f/1.4 is more useful in dreams than in real life, and thus f/2.8 on a lens likely to be used at fairly close distances isn't the drawback that one might think. 5D2, 24-105L, 85mm f/1.8, MP960, HG21, crumbling G6+R72, Brownian toddler

Sharpness isn't the point -- it's having too little DoF for real-world shooting. 5D2, 24-105L, 85mm f/1.8, MP960, HG21, crumbling G6+R72, Brownian toddler
